Youth

S U N D A YYouth are valued participants in our intergenerational Sunday worship service and are invited to serve in leadership roles like reading scripture, leading prayers, ushering and acoltying (lighting candles). Youth who enjoy musical expression in worship are encouraged to contact our Music Director, Evan Miles to explore vocal and instrumental opportunities.

M I D – W E E KMiddle School youth group meets Tuesday evenings from 7 – 8:30 pm. This high energy group enjoys games but also has a prayer circle and the opportunity to discuss topics of interest.

S E R V I C E & F E L L O W S H I PMoreland Presbyterian Church is a member of the SE PDX Youth Collective, a network of neighboring worship communities that work together in service and for justice, exploring faith and building relationships. Three collective communities (middle school, high school, young adult) generally meet monthly, rotating among member churches. Summer experiences through the Collective include City Camp for middle schoolers and a Service/Learning trip for high school and young adults. Weekend retreats leading up to these experiences build community among participants.

F O R M A T I O NDuring the school year, we regularly offer a series of formation classes called EXP for Middle Schoolers. This class covers information needed leading up to confirmation and church membership. These classes take place during the school year, Tuesday evenings from 6:30-7:00 just before youth group.
